Chapter 40

Ran Mouri moved out very smoothly.

This move was destined to be one where she wouldn't return.

She couldn't accept Shinichi Kudo's concealment from her, nor could she accept Shinichi Kudo's "selfishness" towards her.

Although she wouldn't expose him directly, she didn't want to live under the same roof as Shinichi Kudo.

"Ran, you can choose a room you like."

"Mm, thank you, Mom."

"No need for thanks between mother and daughter."

Saying this, Eri Kisaki hugged her daughter in her arms and comforted her softly.

"Don't think too much about that kid's business; that kid has nothing to do with you, and you don't need to be responsible for his business."

'...He's not dead either.'

Ran Mouri didn't know how to say it, but she still felt it was better not to say it.

Shinichi's situation is actually quite dangerous.

She doesn't oppose Shinichi moving into her house; she just doesn't want Shinichi to be exposed and affect her father's safety.

Concealment is still necessary.

She shouldn't stop concealing just because she knows the secret.

She even has to help hide the secret often.

Thinking this, Ran Mouri felt that her future life might not be so easy.

"I know, Mom."

She definitely has to go to school, but she really couldn't get her spirits up today.

The childhood friend who deceived, concealed, and acted out of selfishness towards her only made her feel a headache.

Instead, the diary she suddenly obtained made her want to communicate with the boy named Ren Amamiya.

Mm, she wanted to know if the real story started after Shinichi moved into the house.

Putting her things in the room, she listened to her mother's voice outside the door.

"Ran, I'm going to work first."

"Okay!"

Listening to the sound of the door closing outside, Ran Mouri collapsed into her bed.

After a while, she raised her head, and the diary in her hand was flipped through quickly.

The specific recording time was the day before going to Tropical Land.

There was also a story about Tropical Land.

She also remembered that among the many people wearing mascot costumes handing out balloons and flyers on the way to the amusement park, one of them should have been that person.

The content below also included a video of how Shinichi shrank little by little.

Seeing this scene with her own eyes for the second time was still a great stimulation to her heart.

"A strange drug can turn a high school student into a child."

"I didn't expect there to be such a strange poison in this world..."

As an ordinary girl who only excels in karate, Ran Mouri really couldn't imagine that such a special drug existed in the world.

Instead, it was Shinichi's kind of selfishness.

"Sigh..."

"It would be nice if there was that kind of selfishness under normal circumstances."

When she was alone, Ran Mouri couldn't help but complain.

Knowing that Shinichi's life wasn't in danger, she really didn't even want to control her emotions.

She was even excitedly wanting to give that brat who wore glasses and lied to her a few punches, letting that brat know she wasn't so easy to fool.

But this was just a thought.

That kind of behavior would be too easy to expose Shinichi's identity.

Moreover, Ran Mouri also began to realize at this moment.

"Perhaps, Sonoko has been right all along."

Unrequited love is blind.

Ran Mouri didn't know if she had been in that blind state all along in the past.

Now seeing Shinichi join forces with Yukiko-san and Yusaku-san to kill off his own identity and run to her side, trying to stay by her side.

As for whether Shinichi can restore his original high school student posture, she no longer has any expectations.

Being able to kill off his own identity, she knew how much trouble Shinichi had provoked behind the scenes.

The things hidden behind this are huge.

But even if it wasn't the trouble Shinichi provoked, just the poison that turns people into children is very strange.

She even felt that even if it wasn't the special organization eyeing Shinichi, just Shinichi exposing the fact that he turned into a child, he probably wouldn't escape the fate of becoming a lab rat.

No matter how she thinks about it, Ran Mouri knows that Shinichi won't come back in the future.

"Sigh..."

"Why do you always have to rush forward when you encounter things?"

Ran Mouri sighed and couldn't help but complain.

If Shinichi didn't like to meddle in other people's business so much, perhaps he wouldn't have been hit with a club that night, and he wouldn't have been fed poison.

"By the way, there's also the lottery."

An illusory large roulette wheel appeared before her eyes.

Ran Mouri looked at it with curiosity, slowly moving her hand over to touch the large roulette wheel.

The large roulette wheel spun rapidly, then slowly stopped, and the indicator aimed at an area.

[How Heavy Are the Dumbbells You Lift?]

[Obtained Title: Fang of Hiiro]

[Fang of Hiiro: By consuming a large amount of food calories, you can increase muscle density, further improve nerve reflex speed, improve your own explosive power, improve physical endurance, and enhance the time of explosive power.]

[Note: The title cannot be removed; from the beginning of obtaining the title, you start to acquire the traits "Big Eater" and "Digestion Monster".]

"Big Eater... Digestion Monster..."

These two traits made Ran Mouri stunned.

"No way..."

"Gurgle gurgle~~~" ===== CHAPTER 80 =====

The reaction of her stomach gave her a huge surprise.

'So hungry...'

For the first time in the morning, Ran Mouri felt such a strong feeling of hunger.

There was no need to doubt it; this lottery was real, and the traits of "Big Eater" and "Digestion Monster" were also real.

'D-don't tell me I'm really going to become a big eater.'

Covering her stomach, even though she was very resistant in her heart, the feeling of hunger in her stomach was very uncomfortable.

She hurried to the kitchen.

Opened the refrigerator.

"...Mom, even if you aren't good at cooking, you don't have to put so many seasonings in, right?"

Besides some lettuce, the refrigerator was full of a large amount of seasonings.

Ran Mouri really couldn't understand why her mother, who wasn't good at cooking, hoarded so many seasonings.

But there's no need to complain now.

Solve the problem of hunger first.

Cook rice, process the lettuce.

Simply make some rice balls.

It took fifty minutes to prepare, and then Ran Mouri ate it all in less than fifteen minutes.

"Mm~ 70% full."

She could feel that her stomach wasn't in a state of being completely stuffed, but at a stage very suitable for activity.

70% full.

Just reached the passing line of satiety, but wouldn't make her stomach feel very bloated.

Ran Mouri touched her lower abdomen.

"Even though I ate so much, I can't feel my little belly bulging."

But the next second, her head started to ache.

"What should I do? Is my meal expense going to increase all of a sudden now?"

Increased appetite also means a significant increase in daily expenses.

As a frugal girl, Ran Mouri suddenly felt that her pocket money in the future probably wouldn't be enough.
